Inner Fire is a proactive healing community offering a choice for adults to recover from debilitating and traumatic life challenges without the use of psychotropic medications.

We seek deep and lasting healing through an intensive program that first stabilizes a person in crisis, gradually replaces medication with holistic healing practices, addresses the core issues precipitating pain and then develops skills for growing beyond these issues and becoming an enthusiastic and vital member of their community. Inner Fire offers an alternative approach:

Responsible Medication Withdrawal

Farm-based Work Therapy

Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes

Mentoring, Peer and Life Coaching
